5.0 out of 5 stars A TIMELESS STORY OF BROTHERHOOD IN THE INNER-CITY
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018Verified Purchase
My Friend, My Hero is a much-needed tale of friendship, brotherhood, other relationship dynamics, and positive influence. Black culture chides that 'it takes a village to raise a child.' Somehow, there so few stories of the results of being nurtured by village, when and how that child emerges, and how often that child returns, gives back and uplifts the community. The focus on sports superstars is most often on their talent, ability, wealth, and bling—rarely the struggle, sacrifices, personal responsibilities, commitment to excellence, drive, and restraint. And how often are these precious stories in books written about young black boys? Those within the nucleus of youth sports know the support system that needs to be in place to shape individual players into a team and drive that team to victory. My Friend, My Hero beautifully captures that dynamic with edge-of-the-seat intrigue, as the dangers Bennett faced, pop up one after the other. This is an excellent coming of age story for kids of any age, reminding us that some of our heroes are right at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rollercoaster ride of joy and sorrow
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020Verified Purchase
This book is an eye opening on the current issues that young people particularly from low income families face almost everyday. Many try hard to escape the roads of drugs, gang etc..., but soon succumb to the pressure of a system structured against them. Bennett was a hero but also a martyr. This book is a great read about love, friendship, loyalty, resilience and self esteem. I highly recommend it.

“The message is clear, as it delivers its lessons on living and inspires young people to truly live according to their beliefs, stand firmly on their own ground, and not merely be a follower in the crowd.”
Mentor Magazine

“A very courageous account of what it means to be a young person today. Hoover focuses on the importance of relationships, staying in school, fair play, and setting positive goals. This is truly a story of self-respect and friendship, woven with intelligence and maturity.”
William C. Pratella, PhD
Former Superintendent of Schools, Mount Vernon, NY

“My Friend, My Hero is worth anyone’s investment in the reading arena. It speaks not only to young hearts, but to all hearts, all ages, and all stages.”
Rev. Dr. Cecil L. “Chip” Murray
F.A.M.E Church, Los Angeles, CA

“There’s a little comedy, a little drama, a little suspense, and a little mystery, with the end result being a story that’s not only entertaining, but enlightening. My Friend, My Hero is a wonderful first novel.”
Blackboard African-American Bestsellers, Inc.

“Congratulations on your remarkable book. It reaches into the soul, and it’s something that every young person should read. This book shows your remarkable ability as a writer. In my opinion, you deserve the Pulitzer Prize.”
Lady D. Madison
United House of Prayer

“This is a candid story of life and death. My Friend, My Hero could be a fine tool for analytical problem-solving dialog in any contemporary classroom.”
